New White Paper Identifies the Six Key Decisions for UC and the Cloud

Sandown Park, Surrey, UK - October 4th 2011 - Unified Communications and Cloud Computing are gaining traction. This new white paper helps resellers and their customers to build or refine their strategy.

If planning for one major technology shift is tricky, then planning for two happening simultaneously is indeed a complex proposition. "Increasingly customers are both asking about what their strategy for Unified Communications should be, as well as asking about the impact that Cloud Computing might have on their comms. strategy", comments Rob Pickering, CEO at IP PBX vendor ipcortex. "While many may not necessarily choose to make the move just yet, the long cycle times of equipment in our industry means that it's critical that the right early foundations are laid and the right strategy is put in place now."

Launching today at industry event "Convergence Summit South" at Sandown Park, UK, Pickering has authored a new white paper - "Six Decisions for UC and the Cloud" - to assist in that process. "We shouldn't underestimate the far reaching implications that the convergence of these two technology transformations will have for end users, for the channel and indeed for vendors", says Pickering. "I'm hoping that by identifying the questions that need to be addressed, and offering guidance on where the answers might lay, we can really help businesses crystallise their thinking in this area and help them make the decisions that are right for their business."

The white paper is being distributed by ipcortex from their stand at the show and can also be downloaded, free of charge, from the website - click here
